Question: What is one thing you wish people knew about Epilepsy?

My answer:
Not everyone who experiences seizures , fall to the floor and shake.

* I'd love to hear your thoughts

  1. I’ve encountered several people who don’t understand not all seizures are easily controlled.

    Never went a single year without having any.

    1. the thing I wish people knew was, that just because I've had a seizure (or am about to have one), doesn't mean I'm a different person or have a different personality

      may just take me a while to get back to normal

      I also tell people not to worry and it isn't the end of the world.

      1. Hi , thank you for sharing
